    JJ.....colourbond on my house would look crap and suprisingly the shingle route is possibly not much difference in cost, but look is outstanding.

    As for cost of wood posts and beams, again not that much, add up the number of posts....say 3x8m [at] 3/4k each and 6x6m [at] 3k each and 15 or so nice long beams [at] 5+m each 2.5/3k each and there you have your main structure....not a lot really in context to the look it will provide.

    Doubt a swimming pool is required or wanted for retirees with maintenance and the cost to run.

    Also did not think 3 levels is required for retirees but that is what was called for, not my idea. But at least my 3 levels are all simple, upstairs loft is simple and open, downstairs bedrooms can be left alone and never accessed until visitors arrive, so essentially living on 2 levels only.


    Mooney is a good freehand drawer, wish i was that good....practice practice...

    The front door is off the front deck where the table and chairs are. The deck is 8', but looks smaller as I ran out of paper

    Splitlid,

    Too luxury and a bit too big for me

    If it’s for Thailand, you’re going have water problem esp in the lower level, from splashing rain due to the lack of adequate roof overhang. Plus if it’s west facing, the house will be drenched with hot sun in the afternoon.

    The house seems to be suitable for the colder climate, where you need to maximize/capture passive solar most of the year. I assume that what you’re thinking, due to the greater glass area of windows.
    But I see the outdoor swimming pool,….hmm looks like it should be in the 4-seasons climate region.

    Hard to critique further without the floor plan, and where it’s intended for.

    Overall ….Nice model….good job on making it

    A bit hard to read. Your explanatory text is very large and the plans are very small. Can't tell what's going on at this scale.

    Hmm...somehow the floor plan does not flow well to me, but of course I can't zoom in for better view and legend details.

    However the house look impressive big - from the model - for that little total area.

    Just my opinion tho

    Don’t you think if you switch the master bedroom and master bath, you will get nicer view to the pool from there?…..esp at night it will be pretty when you’re lounging around on the bed.

    Right now your master bedroom has no view, except a small garden in the back.

    Look like you like to entertain and seems the pool is the focal point of the design, so why not facing the master bedroom toward that vantage point?

    The upstair #6 - can't be a bedroom....coz it has "no window".

    It will not meet the building code in your country and not even for thailand

    Downstair - bathroom inside bedroom #6
    It can't become a bathroom, it's too small.
    I can see the width is = to the width of the stair, and that's 3 feet or for the larger case 4 feet only. No it will not work

    In addition
    The kitchen, baths, and laudry room....all have no window!!!
    It will not work for the tropical thai climate, where a good ventilation and/or sunlight is "a must" for those areas.
    Even back in your country....the locations of those sevices & washing areas are.....just a bit obsolete.

    I don't mean to criticize you,.....only what I'm seeing on the plan for traffic flowing, and ventilation required for a better health.

    mooncakes, the lower floor bathroom in the bed room is just big enough, the stairs are 1.4m and the bathroom is 1.4 x 1.8m. just enough.

    the ventilation problem is resolved with extractor fans and louvre panels on the doors.

    Ok now howabout....work a bit on the bathroom inside bedroom #6 - downstair?

    edit...sorry we're posting at the same time

    Just a question: How wide is the stair then?
    if it's less than 4 feet, that bathroom will not work, and will not meet the code back in your country or even passing for a permit in thailand.
    Sorry a bit picky here, but only want to see the plan works, at least for a basic building code wise.

    That's not what I meant.......The whole area is too small to become a full bathroom.
    Full bathroom = sink + toilet + shower

    As you're walking in to the bathroom from the door, it needs to be atleast 5 feet deep for you to be able to have a sink in front of you and be able to stand in front of it..once the door closed. That's what I meant. Yours is not deep enough.
